Johnny Gargano has been wanting to prove that he is the ace of NXT for months now, despite not having the best success in 2020. Sure he was able to win One Final Beat against Tommaso Ciampa, but he’d fail to capture the NXT North American Championship twice this year. However, due to his status as the first Triple Crown Winner in NXT history, he’s in the huge Fatal Four Way Ironman Match to name the new NXT Champion.
The ‘Johnny Gargano Way’ has been hit or miss at best, but Gargano is still one of the best big match wrestlers in NXT history. Will he become a two-time NXT Champion?
Johnny Gargano Could Finally Get A Long NXT Championship Reign
In the last few years, we have rarely seen good NXT Championship reigns from a babyface. Shinsuke Nakamura, Drew McIntyre, Aleister Black, Sami Zayn, Keith Lee and Johnny Gargano all failed to get meaty reigns as NXT Champion. Meanwhile heel champions like Andrade, Bobby Roode, Tommaso Ciampa, and of course Adam Cole? They’d pass the 100 or even 200 day mark with ease. Cole nearly hit 400 days, and after Keith Lee beat him? It was back on a heel within 52 days.
However, Gargano is now a heel, meaning that should he become a two time NXT Champion now, we might see Gargano get more than a measly 57 days as the top champion. NXT is a brand where he’s become perhaps their most iconic wrestler, and while it’s cliche to say someone like him deserves a strong run as NXT Champion, Gargano has earned this.
Resilience Will Be Key To This Match
With a sixty minute time limit that needs to be met, it could just come down to who is the most resilient man in the match. This is what could bring Johnny Gargano this huge win, as he’s been known to be incredibly hard to put down when he’s on his game. If the old Johnny Gargano shines through, but with the added toughness of his newer heel persona? He very well could be the last man standing.
It’s not going to be an easy win, but it could mean 2020 was Johnny Gargano’s year afterall. Is he going to be our next NXT Champion? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
